" I am hoping one of you experienced guys can help me with a BIG problem.
I have a 1965 40hp Gale on a 1979 14' Chrysler "Cadet" runabout. About 3 weeks ago I stopped in the river to take a break and do a little fishing. When I tried to restart my motor it would not start except in gear and full throttle. If I tried to go below 3/4 throttle it dies.I took it to my mechanic and he rebuilt the carb thinking that was the problem. The next weekend I went out again and the problem was still there. Needless to say I did not go very far as it is very dangerous starting in gear and full pin pulling away from the dock. I returned to my mechanic and he cannot figure out what is the matter. He has done both crank seals, head gasket,points,plugs,coils,fuel pump,vacumn cutoff and redone the carb again. The reed valves are fine,excellent compression and the timing is right on. When you crank it over the plugs get wet and there is plenty of spark but it just will not start unless it is full pin and in gear. Absolutly no idle. I would really appreciate any suggestions to help get me back in the water running. "
